“Polly O’Toole is a compassionate and skilled divorce attorney. She listened to me and respected my choices, always giving me options and the pros and cons, while recognizing the human factor of each decision. She always honored what was in the best interest of my children and me, even if it didn’t benefit her personally in terms of drumming up more hours and extending the legal battle forward. She was always in favor of what was best for me financially and emotionally.

When it came to litigation, I have never seen anyone more thorough or astute as Polly. Her preparation and documentation were so organized, and her knowledge and explanation of every possible pitfall for very complex financial and legal issues were beyond impressive. I always felt prepared and was frequently in awe of her calm demeanor and professionalism in court hearings, depositions, and mediations.

In addition to her preparedness and intelligence, she was highly respected and respectful of all parties involved — never letting the opposite side push her to snide remarks or unprofessionalism, while always still defending my interests. I was always in good hands and anyone who hires her is certain to be as well.”— Melissa Gerstle, 2023
